An upgraded I-DC5 braking system allows anglers to fine-tune reel function based on line and lure combinations and fishing conditions, delivering improved accuracy and heightened casting control. Metanium DC 70 A features Shimano's innovative MGL Spool III technology, increasing casting performance by greatly reducing start-up inertia. HAGANE Body design provides strength and impact resistance while eliminating flex in the reel body, offering superior cranking power and efficiency when fighting fish. Shimano built the Metanium DC 70 A to accurately present a broad range of lures with precision and distance in any angling scenario.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg height=\"171\" width=\"171\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0328\/6299\/4563\/files\/cq5dam.thumbnail.319.319.avif?v=1781356453\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHAGANE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse.

This creates friction that can limit the length of a cast. But baitcasting reels with Super Free Spool are constructed so that the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing. When the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment.
